Q

What is the INR equation? What is normal? High? Low?

A
(PT patient/ PT mean-normal)^ISI
[ISI= international sensitivity index issured to manufactured tissue factors]
Normal=.9-1.3
High= 4 or 5-->bleeding
Low=.5--> clotting

Q

What is HIT?

A

heparin induced thrombocytopenia- systemic hypercoaguable state in patients treated with UFH heparin for 7 days

17
Q

T or F–high molecular weight heparin binds to platelets with high affinity and low molecular weight binds to ATIII with low affinity?

A

False– the affinities are opposite but binding is true

18
Q

What is the saturable mechanism for heparin removal? unsaturable?

A
  1. reticuloendothelial system

2. renal excretion

19
Q

Does protamine reverse the effect of fondaparinux? What chem structures are added to fondaparinux?

A
  1. No although it does in an incomplete way to other LMWHs

2. pentasacc. with added methyl groups

20
Q

What factors is vitamin K needed for?

A

II, VII, IX, X, C, and S INHIBITS SYNTHESIS NOT DEGRADATION

21
Q

What is warfarin cleared by?

A

cleared by liver and kidney

22
Q

Does warfarin interact with a lot of drugs?

A

Yes and diets and disease states

23
Q

is there any definitive evidence supporting the exclusive use of any fibrinolytic agent?

A

No–all agents induce a lytic state which may lead to bleeding

24
Q

What takes fibrin to fibrin degradation products?

A

Plasmin

25
Q

What thrombolytic has the longest half life? shortest?

A
  1. streptokinase

2. TPA
